Numerous Fall and Halloween Events Scheduled This Month

There's an activity for anyone and everyone in and around the Patch.

October is a busy time of year in our Patch communities—from hayrides, parties and parades to "Cemetery Tales" for the older set.

There are so many fall-themed or Halloween happenings, so we thought we'd bring them together for you in one place. Here's the list by community:
